[MinnowBoard] Minnowboard Turbot doesn't see USB keyboard most of the time... [Update to the [Update]]

[Rick Thomas]

Well… I finally got the quad (with the 4amp power supply) to work with the “reboot from a running Linux” trick.

At least for that board, the BIOS menu says the following:

Minnowboard Turbot D0 PLATFORM
Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU E3845 @1.91 Ghz
MNW2MAX1.X64.0095.R01.1703281124

Which, I presume, means that the BIOS is Rev 0095.R01 compiled at 11:24 AM on March 28, 2017.  So I’m two revs behind the leading edge.

The dual (with the 2amp power supply) is still refusing to yield its secrets.

Sometime this weekend, I hope to have time to reflash the BIOS with Rev 0097 as mentioned in Brian’s post.
